Well, if you're reffering to the shared folders, folowing the previous sample

lista_carpetas.folders(1) will be the shared folders first level
lista_carpetas.folders(2) will be the personal folders first level.

But i think you have better answers to all this questions in the help file of vba for outlook. The file comes with the office cd, even he is not installed automatically. The name is something like vbaout8.hlp. Of course i'm very glad to help you if i can.
